No cleaning is not a waste of time. Although some flux is self cleaning, it does not do as good of a job as sanding. You have less chance of a leak if you clean your pipe, and fitting prior to soldering. Especially someone who does not do it all the time I would reccomend that you do clean before adding flux and finishing the joint. Good luck.
